Miss Liuying, I'm really not a bad guy

There was no trace of cuts on the thigh that Wen Sheng had just cut twice, and it even looked like it had never been bumped!

And that hot feeling at the beginning was just like Wendy's illusion.

At this moment, Wendy only felt light and airy, as if she had been freed from some restraint, though her thighs felt a little sore and numb...

Wait…her thighs…her legs…can feel it?! Her legs are feeling it!

She stared at her thighs in disbelief. No way...she is now...

Wendy's green pupils trembled, and she stretched out her little hand and pinched her thigh hard!

"it hurts!"

"My legs... my legs are back! I can move again... wuwu... wuwu..."

Tears as big as beans flowed from Wendy's eyes. Seeing this, Liuying, who was standing beside her, had no choice but to hold Wendy in her arms and gently patted her back with the least force. At the same time, she did not forget to give Wen Sheng a reproachful look.

"hey-hey……"

Looking at Liuying comforting Wendy, and Wendy weeping in Liuying's arms...

Isn’t this good too!

Chapter 129: New Passenger! Wendy!

"So... why am I the one who ends up cleaning the carriage?"

Wen Sheng, who had just finished cleaning an empty carriage, wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained softly to Miss Liuying who came in holding the already asleep Wendy.

"Ok?"

Liuying squinted her eyes and gave Wen Sheng a very intense look.

"Um... okay, okay, after all, as the conductor, cleaning is my job!"

Under Miss Liuying's powerful gaze, Wen Sheng decisively chose...

【Follow your heart】

Just cleaning the room for the new passengers! No shame!

Following Liuying, I walked out of Wendy's room. The moment Liuying closed the door, she sighed silently.

"Alas...this child has really been through a lot."

"Well, but... that's all in the past. Now she has the opportunity to make her own choice, right?"

Wen Sheng smiled at Liuying.

"An opportunity...of my own choosing?"

Looking at the blue planet outside the window, Firefly murmured and repeated Wen Sheng's words, then smiled with relief.

"Yeah... a chance that belongs to me alone."

"What's for dinner?"

"Golden shrimp balls? I promised Xiao Hei!"

"But our stock...seems to have been eaten up a long time ago?"

"Hehe...we have a clever plan!"

……

"Hmm...what is this...smell? It smells so good..."

Wendy rubbed her sleepy eyes, and in a daze, she silently sat up from the bed. Then, almost subconsciously, she put on her slippers, then stood up and walked out of her bedroom.

In the observation car, Miss Liuying looked at the table full of Liyue dishes, and her beautiful eyes were full of surprise as she looked at Wen Sheng!

When did he...learn to cook Liyue cuisine!?

Feeling Miss Liuying's surprised gaze, Wen Sheng raised his head with great pleasure.

Fortunately, he put all the dishes from Liyue on the transfer table. Although the price is a bit high, each dish is the lowest value of one treasure, but... at least I don't have to cook it myself! I don't have to worry about what to eat in the evening anymore!

It’s totally ok to have one dish a day!

"Pah...what a delicious smell..."

Just when Wen Sheng was still delighted with his own cleverness, a soft voice suddenly came from the side.

Wendy was standing aside with her eyes half open, as if she had not yet woken up.

"Wendy!"

Liuying looked at Wendy who stood up in surprise, and then quickly helped Wendy to the sofa.

"Miss Liuying...?"

Wendy, whose consciousness was still a little fuzzy, looked at Liuying who was full of concern in front of her. She seemed to realize something and her eyes gradually became clear.

She hadn't slept so comfortably in a long, long time... a long time.

In the past, she had to fall asleep with pain almost every day. Even if she could sleep soundly a few times occasionally, there would always be a voice in her dream and... the bloody reality would be repeated in front of her, making her resentful... and asking her for revenge!

And this time... she slept very soundly, and did something she hadn't done in a long time...

【Sweet Dreams】

She dreamed that she no longer had the Desire Gem and could walk and run barefoot on the grass without any worries.

In that dream, there were birds singing and flowers blooming. When she was tired, she could lie on the grass. When she was sleepy, she could fall asleep in the clouds.

Everything is so beautiful, yet so unrealistic...

Yes... How could this happen? This was all just a dream. How could she really...

"Wendy, you just walked over here."

Sensing the hint of unreality in Wendy's eyes, Wen Sheng spoke softly beside her.

"Walking...over here? Isn't this a dream?"

Wendy tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"of course not."

Wen Sheng smiled and shook his head.

"Well……"

There was still some confusion in Wendy's eyes. Then, she stretched out her little hand and pinched her slender and white thigh hard!

"Ugh!"

Wendy's eyes widened instantly! This pain... wasn't a dream! She felt it!

"I...I am..."

Supporting herself on the edge of the sofa with both hands, Wendy tentatively moved her thighs, and then... she stood up from the sofa! Without anyone's help, relying entirely on her own strength!

"I... I can stand up! I can stand up! Those... really weren't dreams!"

Unconsciously, Wendy's tears began to flow again.

Seeing this, Liuying gave Wen Sheng another cold look.

Wen Sheng: “???”

What does this have to do with him?

After coaxing Wendy back to health, Wendy, who had regained hope in life, suddenly had a huge appetite. At Liuying's enthusiastic recommendation, she showed off a hundred wealth points to Wen Sheng...

Elio, standing by, licked the shrimp balls in his bowl with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Wen Sheng, who has become financially independent, was chewing on the Mora meat in his hand. Looking at the two people who were feasting on the food, he was lost in memories for a moment.

If it was when he had just met Miss Liuying, he might still be worried about the crew's food expenses?

After all, there were only 700,000 credits in the entire car at that time...

just now……

so good……

"Mr. Wen Sheng!"

Wendy, who had finished her meal, suddenly walked to Wen Sheng's side, wiped the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of determination!

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Wen Sheng looked at Wendy with a smile.

"I...I want to stay on the Star Train!"

Wendy knew that it was all thanks to Wen Sheng that she was able to get rid of the Desire Gem and stand up again!

Moreover... she didn't know how to return to St. Freya, nor how to get along with Teacher Theresa...

Once a gap is created, it can never be let go.

After experiencing such a long period of suffering, she is no longer the little girl with empty ideals.

Becoming an S-class Valkyrie... that was just an unrealistic wish, and now...

She can make her own choice!

"Is that so... then..."

Wen Sheng sat up from the sofa and stretched out his hand to Wendy.

"Welcome to the Star Train Line 2! Passenger Wendy!"

"..."

"Ok!"

Wendy shook the hand extended by Wen Sheng without hesitation and nodded heavily!

At this point, Line 2 has welcomed its second "official" passenger, and the [pioneering] journey of Line 2 of the Starry Sky Train will continue.

But until then.

Wen Sheng also had to return the Gem of Desire to Theresa. This thing...

Actually, it’s useless now.

Because Wen Sheng had already discovered it when he was taking the Gem of Desire.

Part of the gem's energy has been permanently transferred into Wendy's body...

Chapter 130 Dream

After Wendy joined the Star Train, the power of the Desire Gem that had originally remained in Wendy's body gradually stabilized. Under the influence of the train, although Wendy's body stabilized, Wendy would become "sick" after getting off the train, just like Miss Firefly. Over time, the power would cause irreversible damage to Wendy's body.

After all, Wendy now is not a "complete Herrscher" in the true sense.

However, when Wendy officially became a passenger on the Star Train and made her own choice, she embarked on the journey of [exploration], and the unstable energy in her body also calmed down under the guidance of her destiny.

Just as [Abundance] can suppress the erosion of Honkai energy and alleviate the pain caused by Honkai energy, the destiny of [Exploration] will naturally allow Honkai energy to move according to the will of destiny.

Ok……

From this perspective, it doesn’t matter whether it collapses or not. It’s all imaginary energy anyway, but it’s just guided by the direction of destiny.

After solving Wendy's biggest problem, Wen Sheng didn't return the Desire Gem right away, but...

I wanted to put it on the equivalent exchange table and try it out.

Hmm...it's the only product, so it can't be traded...

This thing...is it at least a quest item in the collapsed world?

Forget it, I won’t fiddle with it anymore and just give it back to Theresa.

So, Wen Sheng went down again, and in front of Theresa's shocked eyes, he returned the Gem of Desire, which had calmed down, to her, and told her about Wendy's choice.

Theresa already felt indebted to Wendy, so now that she saw that she could make her own choice, she naturally felt comforted.

Although I don't know what the Star Train is, but...

Shouldn't Wendy be allowed to suffer any longer?
